Abstract This paper presents a collaborative manufacturing project between theManufacturing Engineering (MfgE) program and the Child Development program (CDP)– a preschool program – at Washington State University Vancouver. In the MfgEProgram, a two credit course named “Advanced Manufacturing Processes Lab” allowsthe students to integrate course materials from the entire MfgE curriculum into open-ended, student-designed and fabricated projects. The MfgE program assisted the CDP tofabricate a “learning center” or station that encourages children to work in a variety ofways with water. This station would allow children to investigate ways to make watermove and to observe and study the ways that water moves naturally. The students in

ABET1 recognizes this need andrequires engineering technology programs to include such issues in the curriculum.Professional issues can be incorporated into the engineering technology curriculum. One examplewould be to include social and economic impacts as part of new or revised courses dealing withsustainable development. 2 Another possibility exists in programs offering courses utilizing service-learning with community-based design projects.3 To fully realize the benefits of service-learning,a structured reflection component should be used to consider the social

Assuch, it was encouraged that the current FE be modified so that “it can be used both as aneducational assessment tool and as the first professional exam”. 6Industrial advisory committees have provided a great deal of guidance with curriculum andcourse development. Because of input from the advisory committee, course changes likeinterdisciplinary projects and teams were developed even before it was recommended by recentstudies.

Survey responses indicated that exposure to I&E concepts and resources in thecourse helped students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and identity. Additionally, the inclusion ofguest entrepreneurs and mentoring for practical NPD projects helped bridge the gap between academicconcepts and real-world manufacturing challenges. However, some students felt that this experience cametoo late in their curriculum to make a significant impact, that the I&E content did not add new insights,and that the implementation did not foster
